Re: recipe to share - fudgey black bean brownies

This sounds really good.  I have been reading Wheat Belly and decided to cut out wheat for a while. Rena

I've made this recipe before in a food processor but wow, what a difference in the Vitamix.  It was very quick and easy to whip up and the black beans were whirred into oblivion so they were undetectable.  I would like to try some sweetener substitutes next time though - 3/4 sugar seems like a lot. The only thing I subbed was coconut oil for the canola oil and they turned out much more fudgey (I don't think that is a word -but you get the idea!) whereas before they were more cake like.

Here is a link to the recipe:http://mealmakeovermoms.com/kitchen/2009/07/10/black-bean-brownies/ 

To adapt to the Vitamix, I mixed the beans, eggs and melted coconut oil until the beans were

fairly blended and then blended everything for 30 seconds or so.  I would like to replace the sugar with dates somehow so if anyone has any suggestions, let me know! -Janel

I made this same recipe today except I made a few changes. I used eggbeaters for

the eggs and applesauce for the oil. I also used dark chocolate chips. They are

SO good. I had never made them before but figured the Vitamix would do a better

job than the food processor and it worked great. I'm taking some to work

tomorrow for coworkers so we'll see what they think. I think they are really

rich, not very sweet.
